He could have seen somethingthing that didn't actually happen - happens all the time. The validity of his account would be something I tackled after making sure that the required apparatus for the event he described (seeing something) was present. Eyes are as important to the source as they are to the event - if the event is "seeing".
Quote:When you're checking the weather report, you're checking another source--a document submitted by human beings.Is that how the weather gets handled where you're from? A guy stands outside all day and then yells "Yep it rained yall!". That's not how it's done here. Barometers record, cups fill with water, radar pings, nary a human being is involved. Let alone the guy in question, the source (unless he runs a weather station...and I could still check his instruments, now couldn't I?)
Quote: In each case, finding the truth is entirely dependent on people.In each case, you were incorrect. To tackle this from a wider perspective, if the only way of "finding the truth" was entirely dependent on people (hell, even if it weren't, supposing I just thought that it was...) I'd just give up looking (and clearly you have, throwing your hands in the air saying "well I guess we have to go by what Joe says or we can't know" - so we might have that in common).
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
